Battle Grounds Coffee is my go-to stop in Harpers Ferry, WV. Top-notch service--friendly and efficient. The food is fresh, creative, and genuinely good. The coffee is excellent, and they even serve ice cream. The vibe is lively, with free Wi-Fi, a small gift shop, and a patio with sturdy seating and great views. No knock on other spots, but I happily walk past ALL of them to come here. Highly recommend! read more

Delicious frozen custard! Friendly staff. What's not to like? I had the mint ice cream, which was loaded with delicious, decadent chocolate chunks. Husband loves and had, vanilla. The frozen custard was creamy and delicious. We would definitely recommend! read more

One of many coffee shops in Harper's Ferry. This one was one of my favorite. The parking was definitely not the highlight, it was crowded during the weekend. The price for their drinks and frozen custard were very reasonable. I enjoyed their latte. They offer different types of milk if you are lactose intolerant. For the frozen custard, they give a generous portion per scoop. They also have sandwiches and chips if your heart desires. The service was friendly and speedy. Their point of sales takes credit card and touchless card payment via phone. Its an easy 4.7 out of 5. A must visit cafe if you are visiting Harper's Ferry. read more

Highly recommend stopping here while on your journey to Harper's Ferry. I got the Iced Honey Bee Latte $4.75 which was amazing and the Mountain Top Sandwich $10.95. I really enjoyed the hearty sandwich and loved the ambiance of the inside. They had these super cute pumpkin spice earrings upfront and a few other adorable fall items for sale as you enter the shop. The ladies serving us were super sweet and kind. They were extremely busy and were handling orders and people extremely professionally. They should do a partnership with bolivar bakery and use their bread to make the sandwiches. I think that would elevate them even more! Will be going back when we return to Harper's Ferry! read more

It says it has the best coffee in town on the walls and we certainly enjoyed it. We came twice in one day. Before and after our hike. Service was incredibly friendly and helpful. They also have a nice outdoor patio to sit at to the right and down the steps and free Wi-Fi too! I got the pumpkin spice latte in the morning and an iced Samoa in the afternoon. We also had the BLT special breakfast sandwich and an egg sausage and cheese sandwich. Along with our double chocolate chip muffin. For lunch, we got a chicken salad sandwich. Enjoyed everything but the BLT breakfast sandwich was way better the the egg sausage and cheese. Sausage was kind of strange and I be advised the bagels are not homemade. I'm guessing a croissant or bread would be better. read more

A good place for a cup of coffee in Harpers Ferry I recently visited Harpers Ferry with family. As with most trips we went in search of the history, the sights and a good cup of tea and coffee for the various members in the group. The town is part of the park service and most people park at the visitors center and take the shuttle bus into the town. There is a parking lot but quickly fills up because of the popularity. This shop is about a block and a half up high street from John Brown's fort. Battle Grounds Bakery and Coffee is like an old time shop with the hand-painted sign outside to wood floor, brick entryway, and swinging screen door. It seemed a welcoming and friendly spot from the moment you walk in. The staff was friendly and helpful, at teh counter located near the back of the space. Several in our party ordered coffee and a few ordered tea. There were plenty of choices for our different tastes. You can get a simple drip coffee, a cold brew, or an espresso drink like a cappuccino or latte. All the drinks were made fresh.They also offer fresh breads, muffins, croissants, and cookies that is baked daily. If you happen to be in the area and want to get a good cup of coffee, then I would recommend that this is a good place to stop and get a caffeinated beverage of your choice. Enjoy it as you walk around the city and enjoy the town. read more

The place is a cozy little spot, with limited seating inside. There is additional seating outside to the right of the building down some steps (we made the mistake of going to the left and through a gate). The pastry case is past the cashier if you wanted to look at pasty options, so just check that nook out before you complete check out. Coffee is nothing fancy - industrial diner coffee drip. read more

Visited Battle Grounds Bakery recently. Walking by, the smells were amazing. On our way back from our walk through Harpers Ferry, we stopped in and looked at the menu. My wife and mom drink coffee, so I requested two large coffees to go. I also requested a sausage, egg, and cheese croissant. It was busy, but the coffee was served quickly. The croissant took a few minutes. The coffee was piping hot. We took the food to go and walked back to our rental house. The sausage egg and cheese croissant was delicious. I wish I would've requested another one. My wife and mom loved the coffee. Next time we're in HF, we'll visit again. Great food. Great service. read more

I was pretty disappointed with my experience here. The food was great, so I want to make sure I point that out first. But the owner... is not. Rant below. Only read if you want to know about why you shouldn't go here-- bc I only support businesses that are run by supportive owners. I called ahead to make sure placing an order for 8 people wouldn't be a problem and was told to email ahead of time. When I emailed, I was met with a brash response that emailing was only for groups of 25 and a new person answered the phone who shouldn't have given out the email address and to order 30 min ahead like the website says when we needed the food. (It was the company address- not a personal one). I apologized. The website wasn't working well, and I called a few times when trying to place the order and finally was able to place one through door dash. When my order finally was placed, after waiting for nearly an hour, door dash canceled the order. I called and the restaurant already had the order made. But no way to deliver it. The told me to find a way to get there to pick it up. But we had been drinking and our only sober driver then had to double back and spend an extra 45 minutes driving us around while the rest of our group waited over 2 hours for their lunch. I asked door dash for a refund and they gladly provided it. The restaurant said we could not have our food anymore- they held onto our sandwiches - literally "held our sandwiches as ransom" because we were refunded. The owner made her employee put her on the phone with us so she could yell at us and tell us that we had to pay again or not get our food "I'm not just going to give you this food." But also, didn't acknowledge that we just waited 1.5 hours, and drove to get cold sandwiches and coffee had just been sitting there for so long that the ice had melted. IMO don't use door dash/offer delivery or find a way to be nicer to your customers. Being rude is never the way to run a business. Everyone has bad days, but this is clearly a pattern. Editing to respond to owner's response bc I would never yell at an employee. I was telling them how upset I was and the employees kept apologizing for the owner's behavior. I told them it wasn't their fault but I was just disappointed and they were just staring at each other. I wasn't "drinking all day," I just didn't want to drive. We are in our 40s and extremely responsible adults. The coffee drinks (one of them) spilled bc they were left in the carrier and had melted and the cardboard was soaking wet and wouldn't hold them. I had to keep the rest of the drinks on the ground and a really nice woman offered to help me carry them to the car because the carrier was no longer functioning. We won't be back. Just be nicer. See my other reviews. I have plenty of great experiences. This wasn't one of them. read more

This was a cute little family-owned spot to grab coffee during our morning in Harper's Ferry. The staff were friendly and gave us recommendations on the area. We ordered coffee and breakfast sandwiches which were freshly made and delicious. They don't have much for seating inside, but luckily it was sunny out and we were able to find a nice spot on the patio. read more

Great coffee and sandwiches. Extremely friendly staff. Convenient patio with nice views of river and town. We had breakfast twice there and 2 lunches. Perfect for packing for a hike. read more

Battle Grounds Bakery & Coffee is one of the eateries you'll find in the the historic town of HF - their menu is actually pretty extensive in terms of offering breakfast plates, cold and hot sandwiches, and salads, as well as a beverage menu. Wasn't really a fan of some of the names they gave for their items... The place itself is super dark, and there are some counter seating that patrons seem to be just squatting without ordering to get some relief from the hot weather outside. Service could have been friendlier and more attentive. +limited counter seating +service could have been more friendlier read more

The best place ever! This place is for real people, and the owner is kind, generous, down to earth, an extremely personable. She goes out of her way to support teenagers and local students and employ them. She's working hard all the time with a smile on her face and their food and coffee is the real deal. There's new places open. These are for tourists, but if you want salt of the earth , the real deal what you come to harvest fair for it is definitely this place and their coffee Marvel, any great coffee in the DC metropolitan area. Keep up the good job you guys are doing great. read more

Came in for a cold flavored coffee and a quick cookie snack, left with a smile on my face :) Although the line was out the door on the day I visited, the service was very quick. The flavored iced coffee drinks are great, and their cookies are nice and gooey. There were no indoor or outdoor seats when I visited, so all orders are taken to go. read more

Everything about this place is amazing! They have a large menu for both food and drinks and so many flavor syrups to choose from for coffee. They even sell ice cream which is always a plus. I went with an iced blackberry latte and a chickpea salad sandwich on sourdough bread. The sourdough bread itself was amazing and the chickpea salad was great. I loved my coffee and the employees are so friendly! They have some seating inside but more outdoor seating. Overall I loved it here. Also they have free Wi-Fi! read more

The sandwiches are honestly SO GOOD. Their sourdough bread is super fluffy and fresh. I've only had their ice lattes from the drink menu but its always perfect and refreshing. Its super cozy inside. The staff is super friendly and I love how there is an outdoor area to wait for your food and marvel at the gorgeous views. They have cute merch too! read more

So good we ate there 3 times in 2 days!! It was highly recommended by people we met, Yelp, Google, etc., so we had to try it. I had outstanding peach tea, a great breakfast sandwich on a bagel, an awesome chocolate muffin, and a Confluence sandwich. The Confluence is roast beef, swiss, horseradish, red onion, lettuce, and tomato on sourdough bread - absolutely outstanding! My companions loved the coffee, salads, and bagels as well. The staff is very friendly. You can eat inside or on the shaded outside patio, which was comfortable even on a hot day. Battle Grounds Bakery and Coffee is one of, if not the best place in Harpers Ferry. read more

I debated between 3 and 4 stars. Battle Grounds is nothing terribly special, but the quality is good. They bake their own bread for the lunch sandwiches, which is nice, but the bread doesn't really stand out for anything other than being sliced super thick. Vegan smoothies (made with almond milk) are excellent. Staff is very friendly. Outdoor seating is nice. Lunch sandwiches are big and could easily be shared. Breakfast sandwiches are nicely done. read more

Battle Grounds, despite being a small shop, offers a lot of options for drinks and food, including milkshakes! I arrived on a Friday morning, dodging the large group of teens that were roving the streets on a field trip. The line was fairly long but not out the door. I ordered a simple breakfast sandwich of egg and cheese on a bagel. They didn't have a place to fill up my water bottle so I had to buy a disposable one (at least it was only $1, but there wasn't a recycling spot so I had to carry it around with me). They were very busy, my sandwich took a long time to be ready, at least 15 minutes if not more. I had approached the counter as I was convinced that I had missed my order as I had headphones on. Perhaps it's because they have a small kitchen that things took a while? The tricky thing is that there isn't a good place to wait for your food/drinks without getting in people's way. There is a ledge with high top stools along one of the walls, but it can feel squished when there's a lot of people in line. There are tables next door on the hill but they fill up fast. When I got my sandwich, the cheese was both super melty and not melty at all. The bagel was fine, and the eggs were well made. It checked the box for breakfast, but after the long wait it was sort of a let down. read more

I stopped here for lunch while hiking a section of the AT with my brother and our dogs. First, let me say the service was fantastic and the staff, super friendly. It was raining and we were soaked and they didn't give us a hard time about being wet and having bulky bags, and they even gave us a rag so we could clean ourselves up a bit before eating. (Also gave treats for the dogs) Don't think that this review is just about service though. The food was killer!! We got sandwiches and cookies. The sandwhich were so so tasty, and very big. Bread is made fresh in-house and everything we got was just so tasty. I got the John Brown which was warm and satisfying. The cookies were also very good. I don't find myself in harpers ferry often, but next time I'm there I will 100% be back. On top of everything, even in a place with a captive audience, prices were super reasonable! read more

We are so glad that we tried here! It was a very hot day, but our hot coffee and hot sandwiches were so delicious! Beef and cheese went well, mine jalapeño one was excellent too. Spicy but not too much. The shop also had some other snacks, small art collection and cold drinks. Servers were very friendly. read more

Great coffee and sandwich and the staff are very friendly. They also have a lovely deck to enjoy your coffee. Well done!

Where do I start? I've been to plenty of coffee shops, but this by far was the best. The warm inviting feeling soon as you walk in is indescribable. The staff are so pleasant and helpful. I initially ordered a Pumpkin latte with almond milk and it was fixed wonderfully, I just didn't like the taste, the staff was so kind, she simply made me a new one and the second go round I ordered a Cinderella latte and my goodness, it was perfect. The Cinderella latte texture was smooth and blended perfectly, the taste was light and it was very tasty. We also ordered the sausage egg and cheese on a waffle, OMG! I could've eaten two! If I'm ever in this area again, I'll definitely be back! read more

Coffee was amazing, I had the pumpkin pie iced latte. I loved the fact that they have a 32oz cup option, kept me refreshed as I walked along Harper's Ferry town and shopped. Service was welcoming and quick. They have small souvenirs for urself or other like candles, cups, coffee. read more

Stopped in today while visiting Harpers Ferry with my girlfriend and 8-year-old son. It was a dreary, cold and rainy November morning so this place was absolutely perfect. There was a big group ahead of us who ordered just about everything on the menu but the staff were still super quick and patient with getting our drinks ready. My son had the hot chocolate and we each had the pumpkin chai latte and all were perfect. Not too much indoor seating so we took our drinks to go, but still a great spot with a solid coffee house menu. We will definitely be back the next time we visit. read more

Cozy bakery/cafe with delicious breakfast and lunch options! My husband and I stopped by here before hiking the Maryland Heights trail. The line was pretty long on a Saturday around 11 am. We ordered their special (bacon, cheese, chopped jalapeño, and a sweet jam on sourdough bread) and a red velvet cheesecake muffin/cupcake. The sandwich was very good and satisfying. Loved the combo of sweet and spicy. I appreciated how they asked if I wanted my muffin warmed up. Also, they give you a buzzer to let you know when your order is ready. While there's limited seating inside, we were able to grab a table outside and wait for our sandwich. We didn't get a chance to try their coffee, but we will definitely stop by next time we are in the area. read more

I loved this place so much! I went for breakfast and had a breakfast sandwich and an iced latte. The sandwich was amazing and a reasonable price. It was very large and filling. I would highly recommend the sourdough for bread, as it is very delicious. They are very accommodating for gluten free orders. We ordered a gluten free sandwich and they made it separately so that there was no cross-contamination. It did take a couple extra minutes but they were very willing to do so. When we returned for lunch, the cashier had remembered us and informed us that they had just finished their batch of gluten free cookies. We had some, and they were amazing! We also had some smoothies that were made with real fruit so they were delicious. This place is absolutely perfect for a quick bite and would highly recommend if you are visiting!! read more

The cafe is pretty small inside with a large raised counter on the left side with seating. The real gem of this cafe, other then the friendly service, the location, and the delicious coffee is the very large patio that you'll find outside the door to the right of the building. It underlooks (stares up at) the cliffs of Harpers Ferry and is just such a quaint perfect little spot to park and enjoy your coffee and pastries. This cafe is located in oldtown Harpers Ferry. So if you park at the bottom of the hill (which is kinda where you need to park) it is a handful and a half of stairs up to the cafe. But for the views and the adorable little small Americana packed town atmosphere - well worth it. read more

Disappointed that there are few businesses open early on or near the Main Street in Harper's Ferry. You don't really have options. Most shops don't open until 10am and the majority (which is only a few in total) aren't even open until Thursday or Friday. Not convenient at all for early hikers or tourists. But then there is Battle Grounds Bakery & Coffee, thank goodness! They open early and throughout the week. The smoothies are really good. The pastries are large but just okay. The breakfast sandwiches are on the small side so not very filling. Had hot coffee and iced coffee and both were decent. The sandwiches are made with their own thick fresh baked breads and are amazing! Large, filling, fresh and tasty! It's a very small but super cute little shop conveniently located in the center of high Street. Counter seating is pretty limited inside but they do offer umbrella covered little outdoor tables just outside the front door to the side(it has signage marked for their customers). The service was very quick and friendly. Thankful they are there for those of us that are early risers. Would definitely recommend giving them a try! read more

The hike was a battle but this place made me feel grounded! This cute little coffee shop is great for post hike pick me ups- coffee, smoothies, sandwiches and even ice cream. The staff were really nice and incredibly accommodating of allergies. I got a dirty chai and it was a perfect amount of sweetness. The smoothie (a custom strawberry, mango and banana) was just what I needed post hike. They have wifi and a couple of stools. Great place to pop in and would definitely check it out (note: it's a the top of the hill so it's a bit of a trek but worth it!!) read more
